A prosthetic system that includes a prosthetic implant acrd a support structure secured to an inner surface of a cavity of a bone is disclosed. The support structure may comprise a pair of partially hemispherical components arranged in spaced apart relationship thereby defining a channel between the pair of components.

Systems and methods for providing deeper knee flexion capabilities. In some instances, such systems and methods include a femoral knee replacement component that includes an articular surface, a first interior surface, and a second interior surface, wherein the first and second interior surfaces run substantially parallel to each other. In some cases, the articular surface includes an anterior condylar extension that is configured to replace an anterior articular cartilage of a femur such that the anterior extension is configured to terminate adjacent to a proximal limit of the anterior articular cartilage of the femur. Other implementations are also discussed.

A glenoid implant for an inverted shoulder prosthesis includes a base, a glenosphere having a central orifice and mounted on the base by mutual wedging between conical bearing surfaces, a main anchoring screw crossing the base and including an anchor rod having a tapped end segment, and an inner hole having a threaded intermediate portion, and a tip portion. A locking screw crosses the central orifice and includes a proximal head and a locking rod having an end segment intended to slide in the tip portion of the inner hole and a tapped intermediate segment intended to cooperate by screwing with the intermediate portion of the inner hole to lock the mutual wedging of the conical bearing surfaces, the proximal head abutting on an annular bearing surface in the central orifice.

According to an embodiment, a spinal implant for implantation in a spinal facet joint is disclosed. The spinal implant comprises a first plate having a first surface, a second plate having a second surface, and a biasing element having a first end and a second end, the biasing element coupled to the first surface of the first plate at the first end and the second surface of the second plate at the second end. The biasing element may be at least one of a waveform spring, a coil spring, and a flexible core. The spinal implant may be configured for use in a spinal facet joint, such as a cervical facet joint.

The invention concerns an improved prosthesis component (1), for example an acetabular or glenoid cup (2) of an orthopedic prosthesis (12) or a liner constrained inside the cup (2) and intended to receive a spherical joint (4, 5) of an artificial femoral or humeral head (10), said component being substantially hemispherical-shaped with a base (6) defining the lower edge of the liner (1). Advantageously, according to the invention, the insert or liner (1) comprises a lip (8) projecting beyond the base (6); in other words, the lip (8) projects beyond the equatorial line of the hemispherical form of the liner (1) partially occupying the missing hemisphere of the hemispherical form to define an undercut edge, as well as an extended portion (20) of said lip (8) by at least one tract of said base (6) in order to receive and hold a dual-mobility head in the spherical segment (9) inside the component (1, 1).

Implants, device, systems and methods for replacing an articulation surface in a joint, for example, a reverse glenoid implant with a baseplate, a central screw, a peripheral screw, a modular taper, and a post. Methods for implanting the glenoid implant are also disclosed.

An orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a femoral component having a condyle surface. The condyle surface is defined by one or more radii of curvatures, which are controlled to reduce or delay the onset of anterior translation of the femoral component relative to a tibial bearing.

A system includes a constrained acetabular insert, a dual mobility liner, and a femoral head. The constrained acetabular insert has its perimeter extending beyond hemisphere and the dual mobility liner has its perimeter extending beyond hemisphere and configured to tilt and rotate within the constrained acetabular insert. The femoral head is configured to tilt and rotate within the dual mobility liner. The constrained acetabular insert may include a plurality of tabs and the dual mobility liner may include screw threads for receiving the plurality of tabs.

An orthopaedic components, prostheses, and methods for a hip arthroplasty are disclosed. The acetabular prosthetic component includes an outer rim and a cavity defined by an inner wall. The cavity is sized to receive a femoral head of a femoral prosthetic component. The inner wall includes a curved surface extending inwardly from the outer rim to an inner end, and a semi-spherical surface connected to the inner end of the curved surface. the inner wall is shaped to resist dislocation of the femoral head component from the cavity and permit the femoral head component to articulate over a range of motion.

A calcaneal implant for extending the length of a leg of a patient and surgical methods for implanting the implant are described herein.
